Unwrapping with Daddy

This is cool Auntie!

1st Christmas

Claire tried pumpkin pie and ham, followed around her big cousin Miranda, hung with Auntie Anne and Silvia, jumped with Auntie Leanne, giggled for Uncle Eric, ripped open paper, toted a green bow and did everything in her power to avoid having to nap....

Superstar..or trouble?

So this morning at about 6 am 10 month old Claire called her Grandma Swanson on the phone...without anyone else around. OMG! ;o) How are we going to keep up with this kid?

Can't contain myself for animal welfare! YIPPEE!

Walking! multitasking already...

Another big week

Claire is getting ready to impress her Swanson family! She started walking Monday and loves to practive, sometimes falling on her face and stressing out mom and dad. A third tooth popped up on her lower jaw, and an upper tooth is finally peaking out. Climbing the furniture is fun and jumping on the couch. Getting down is trickier though...

She met Santa and was less than impressed...so we

consoled her with sushi-where our adventurous little eater tried miso soup, tofu and avocado. YUM!

Claire is walking!

Just shy of 10 months old Claire started walking across the living room today! EEK!
